Dryland Training resumes in mid September.   In the mean time there is lots going on, to keep us in shape.  If you have other ideas than these, let Jo-Ann or Penny know and we will post it here.  Most of these groups will have their own private facebook page, otherwise every Sofit will be bombarded with info about every event, just let the contact person know that you are interested.

<strong>Yvonne and Anne's Weekly Friday Cycling</strong> in the park and in scenic locatles.  This year they are ramping it up to train for Cape Breton.    Yvonne or Anne or Susan O.

<strong>Wednesday Morning Runs,</strong> Blair Road and Aviation Museum area (on the river path).  Suitable for beginning runners, gradually building to a max of 5 K.  Very friendly group.    Contact:  Marg.

<strong>Hikes -Yikes</strong>:  Contact Rosy.  These hikes will be serious training and not just a walk in the woods.

<strong>Meech Lake Swims</strong>:  Early morning (well, that depends somewhat on the group).  For this one you need a wetsuit and need to be comfortable swimming in open water.  Although several of us use rescue cans, this swim is completely upsupported in terms of lifeguards, etc.   We start at the end of May with about 15 minutes, and add perhaps around 10 minutes each week.  We aim to swim at least two mornings a week, except during thunderstorms.   Option to cycle or run afterwards on a  quiet Meech Lake Road or in the park.  Contact Jo-Ann

<strong>Trail Running:</strong> Contact Jo-Ann (or Janey?).  Starts short and easy and gradually builds.  Possibly Saturday or Sunday mornings.  May take a break during high bug season.

<strong>Mountain Biking:</strong>  in the park, especially in the fall.    Contact Susan R.

<strong>Orienteering: </strong> This would be an Ottawa Orienteering Club activity, and is a very fun way to get in a weekly run and test your map reading at the same time.

<strong>Spontaneous canoe trips</strong>: day trips or longer.   Propose away!
